Dreaming of Summer Camp

It may be cold outside but at the Y we’re thinking about the warm weather to come. This means getting ready for another summer of fun-filled camps across Southwestern Ontario and at our beautiful overnight camps on Beausoleil Island and in Point Pelee National Park. At Y Camp, everyone from the campers to our amazing counselors make memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

Y Camps provide youth of all ages the opportunity to have fun, make new friends and build confidence. Our campers experience a wide range of activities that help them learn new skills and explore new interests. At our overnight camps, our campers develop a sense of independence while fostering those one-of-a-kind friendships that can only be formed at a summer overnight camp. They get the opportunity to do this under the watchful eyes of our experienced and supportive staff, most of whom have been in the same position as a Y camper.

For older youth, the Y’s leadership programs help them develop strong skills that will help them in the future – skills such as leadership, problem solving and strategic thinking. They get to do this with peers of their own age, building bonds that help each other grow, and ultimately making those lifelong friendships. It is these young leaders that help make Y camps different. They are passionate about making not only their own experience one to remember, but the experience of all the campers with whom they interact.
